Arbury Park Banana Beach
On Sunday 27th July we joined Artist Kirsten Lavers at the Banana Beach.
It was a perfect day for the beach and we were posing from 12 noon, check out the Xtras on the beach
After posing on the beach some of the xtras were filmed for "Today I am".
We got some great footage for our short film. The plot is based on the game "I went to market and bought ..." but our lines went some thing like: "Today I am ... wearing a hula outfit, a gorilla mask, a spotty hanky etc"
The film will Premiere at the Beach on Sarurday 23rd August

Not In My Back yard
A living room deposited in the middle of a misty English common with an upside down duck, a maid, a mad hatter butler and one crazy musical score.
Cathy Dunbar and Kay Goodridge filmed "Not in my back yard" on Cambridge's Midsummer Common,a place famous for people getting together for fun and entertainment.
Recently near by residents have had concerns about public merry making.
Inspired by the controversy Cathy and Kay take the opportunity to play with notions' of quirky British eccentricity, sensibility and theatricality.
